For the past 30+ years the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has successfully found peace and justice for those who have gone missing in the United States, and while they have made a huge impact on the subject, there are some holes that may have never come across their mind for bringing awareness. That is where filmmakers from the movie industry come in. There have been several filmmakers and actors who have taken upon themselves about bringing awareness to the masses of what is really going on behind closed doors.

A woman named Aggie, (Loretta Devine) and a former Special Forces soldier, Wil (Alan Powell) try to stop a man named Jack, (Kevin Sorbo) from trafficking his two young daughters Skye and Elle in Greece. This movie showcases the aspect of what happens in broad daylight, and even shows the aspect of how sometimes it can be someone you know that would go to extreme lengths to obtain money, even if it means trafficking their own flesh and blood.

Not My Life is one-of-a-kind documentary that dives into the horrifying world that is human trafficking and contemporary slavery that happens in every country in the world. The documentary took four years to make and was filmed in 13 countries including, Ghana, Italy, and the the United States.

* Advisory Warning: There are scenes in the documentary that depict children as young as 5 years old being forced to partake in sexual slavery.

Although these are not all of the films that focus on human trafficking, these are the ones that have gained a lot of traction. As of late a new movie titled Don't Say My Name is set to be released Autumn 2020.
